TURNING THE TABLES.
How q Railway Conductor Got Even with
q Too Exacting Superior.

Too Exacting Superior.
Almost every one will enjoy the
manner in which conductor turned
the tables on the, president of the road
in the following incident, narrated by
a Newark paper. But the president.
though too much of martinez, seems
to have accepted the situation in a
manly way. There is general inter-
change of passes among railroad men,
and the president and vice-presldent
of the large railroads often have passes
all over the country:
President Roberts is very strict
man. One very stormy day in winter
he got on the New York division, and
took a seat in the middle car. The
conductor knew him. as we all do; and
when he passed him, the president
simply hooded. 1t was catch; and
Roberts was only trying to see if his
man would break the rules, and not
make him show his pass. The con-
ductor fell into the trap. When he
passed through the train again, Rob-
erts arose from his seat and. tapping
him on the shout Ter, said: "Sce here,
you have me- seen my pass"
mo. SIR" faitered the conductor;
"but-Jut know who you are"
THAT makes no difference" re-
torted Roberts, with a frown. ''The
rules are made to be obeyed, and not
to be broken. The rules laid down
for your guidance say that any passen-
ger who has neither ticket nor a
pass must pay his fare, Or else you
must eject him from the train"
Il know it." replied the conductor;
"but''-
mo butts Now you may CO."
Il haven't seen your pass yet,
though" demurely remarked the
ticket-puncher, wishing to demon
strate the thoroughpess of his lesson.
That's right" replied Roberts. ap-
provingly. MAKE NO difference be-
tween the president of the road and
the poorest passenger"
He reached into his inside coat
pocket, and then into his vest pockets.
His face grew red, and he fumbled
around his hip pockets. The con-
ductor grinned. Roberts sallow COM
plexion grew paler, and then redder.
He went through his pockets again,
but no passes.
''Humphr' exclaimed the president.
singular! just stop as you pass this
way again"
The conductor stopped. and the
president dryly handed him tive-dol-
lar bill, and told him to take out the
fare. He had left his book of passes
at his office.-Touth's Companion.

REST A NECESSITY.
Why the American People Should Turn

Why the American People Should Turn
Back to More Quiet Ways.
How few people there are who know
what rest is in its best sense! Sunday,
the day of rest, comes and goes and is
but part of life's fitful fever, quickly
past. There may have been a cessa-
ton from physical toll. but in thought
the man or woman has often taken no
respite. If we can get away from
everyday thought. even for one day
in the week, we would be better and
stronger to do the work of the rest of
the week, and yet in spite of profess
sions of religion. in spite of Sunday
sermons and prayers, the man too often
Ives on this day of rest as on other
days. In too many parts of
the country Sunday means an,
extra dinner and extra toll to the house.
keeper. We have learned as a,
nation to work hard and theoretically,
but we have not yet learned to rest and
how to save ourselves extra work. We
must 60 to older nations to learn this.
There is something wonderfully at
tractive in some of the descriptions of
Oriental cities in which civilizations
seems to move along with perfect quiet
without any of the clangor and shout
ing heard continually in Western cities
There is nothing that so deadens the
better nature in man as the continual
noisy, nervous strife in all kinds of
trade and business. No time is left for
any thing but money-getting. Like an
infectious disease. it seems to extend to.
all orders of society. We must turn
hack to simpler ways. to more quiet,
restful ways. All work will be better
if done by steadier hands.

IMPORTATION OF BIRDS
The First Lot Brought to the United
States for Colonization Purposes.

The First Lot Brought to the United
States for Colonization Purposes.
In the year 1852 some Brooklyn gem
tlemen (among them the present
writer) assembled at the Brooklyn In
stitute, at one of the regular meetings
of the Natural History Society, to con-
slider the best means to rid the city OF
the insect pests than devastating the
shade and ornamental trees A COM
mittee. appointed to report on the sub
ject, decided to import a lot of Euro
pean birds. and the following were Sc
lected: Sparrows, blackbirds, sky
larks. siskins. WOODLANDS, goldfnches,
bulltincfes. thrushes and robins. A
sum of money was subscribed. and the
late Mr.. Perry, then secretary of Green
wood Cemetery, gave an additional
hundred dollars toward the expenses.
The writer, being about to sail for En-.
gland, was appointed a committee Of
one to superintend the selection OF
birds there. On his arrival in Liver
pool he communicated with Mr..
Thomas WOodcock, a great lover OF
birds, then at Manchester, and the
draft and list of birds were forwarded
to him for their purchase. He prompt
ly fulfilled the task, and the birds
were soon on their way to New
York in charge of an officer of
the steamer. They arrived safe
ly and were housed in the tower
of the building at the old entrance to
Greenwood. They did not seem to
thrive there. so they were removed to
the house of the late Mr.. John Hooper.
of Bergen street. Brooklyn. who cared
for them till spring. The sparrows
were then let loose in the city, and
half of the skylarks on General john
sons farm at the Wallabout. and the
other half at Flatlands. The rest Of
the birds were taken to Greenwood in
cages and hung up in the trees. fhey
We're well supplied with food, and the
doors of the cages left open SO that
they could come or depart at pleasure,
and trusty person was engaged to
watch the birds so that none should
modest them. This plan was success
full. as the birds roasted at night in the
cages, going out in the daytime, and
continued thus for about fourteen days.
The blackbirds, goldiinches. thrushes,
siskins. ETC.. soon disappeared from
view, but the skylarks now seen at
Flatlands are no doubt descendants of
the birds then liberated. as their nests
have frequently been found, showing
they have become acclimated to our
severe winters. which evidently de-
stroyed the other birds. The above
were the first birds imported into the
United States for the pdrpose of colo
nization, that am aware of.-Cor. ~

The Donovan Vein.

The following are a few of the
prominent properties on the Donovan
vein. Owing to the fact that this
report has been compiled in mid
winter, l have been unable to reach
the owners Of many claims on this
ledge, and as consequence the report
is not as complete us l would wish
TO make it.
THE BIG TRUMP
is situated on the head waters of Rock
creek, and is full sized claim-l5OO
feet in length and 900 feet in width.
1t is of easy access and as favorably
situated for mining purposes as any
claim in the district. The develop
ment work consists of an open cut on
the east end OF the location, showing
the ledge to be 80 feet wide. On the
west end is an incline shaft 65 feet
deep. sunk ON feeder to the main
ledge. The ledge in this feeder i.

deep, which shows ledge matter 80
feet in width.
THE WILLIAM cuDpY
is claim at the head of the North
Fork Of Beaver creek, and owned by
William Csddy and associates, Of
Bullion. An incline-shait has been
sunk on this location 30 feet in depth,
all the way in free-miling gold quarts.
The ledge is compact. Tho groupings
can be traced from end 70 end of the
ground and, indeed, for many claims
beyond both east aud west. Tho
ledge is from six to seven feet thick
al! quartz.
In submitting this report let me
say in conclusion that it is far from
being as perfect as l would wish.
The season OF the year-mid-winter--
and the quantity of snow on the
ground preventing my visiting many
localities that otherwise would have
examined. Tho report il especially
imperfect a. to the claims at the head
of Willow and Beaver greeks. Tho
mountain range in which the waters
of these two streams have their source
has been but very imperfectly pros
pected. know of no more inviting
field for tho prospector than this To-
oality.
1t will be seen from the list Of
mines herein submitted although
imperfect) that the Gold Belt is des-
tined to become a largo mining Gen.
ter. As is tho case in all mining
camps the world over, not al the
claims that are favorsbly mentioned,
or that look favorable on the surface,
will develop into paying properties.
But if only q small portion of thoss
mentioned meet the appreciation Of
J their owners, then the success OF the
, camp is assured. OF the mines III
ready developed, can say with safet,
that larger proportion of them show
ore in paying quantities than any
other mining camp know Of in the
Northwest. Should the others mol
i developed prove up in the same pro-
0 portion, the Gold Belt will support 4,
e large and prosperous a mining com
D munity as is to be found on the Pa
oifc Coast. From this statement
will not except even Virginia City
b New, or Butte, Montana.

IConcludsd from yesterdays TINES.


This claim is about half mile west
of the West Camas, and is opened by
a tunnel and an open cut. The cut
exposes six feet of fine quartz, but has
not reached the hanging wall. 1t is
difficult to determine the width Of the
ledge from the development work. In
front of this cut, and not yet opened
by the workings, is another groupings.
These groupings, taken in connection
with those already exposed, would in
dictate IA feet of ore-all of u good
grade-much of which SHOWS free gold
in the prospector's pan.
THE CABLE
is still a western continuation of the
Camas ledge, and situated on the d.
viding ridge between Beaver and
Camp creeks. The outcrop shows
strong and prominent. As yet there
has been no development work or
this claim. 1t is owned by James
Richardson.
THE GOLDEN CHARIOT
is owned by Lisle and Richardson
and is close to the Tip-top. 1t il
opened BY a cross cut and shaft q
feet in depth. The ledge is sever
feet in width at the bottom Of tn
shaft, with only one wall in sight
This vein shows free milling ore, SOM
of it of a very high grade.
THE CHAMPAGNE,
owned by Bailey & Co, is opened b.
a shaft 10 feet in depth. The ledg
is very large, being from 10 to IL fee
in width. 1t is one of the western
extensions of the Camas.
| THE JOHNNIE
| is located on the eastern bank of tn
main fork of Camp creek, and
opened by tunnel 100 feet in length
which exposes about 81 feet of quartz
some of which is Of a very high grade
This claim is favorably situated fo
opening by means of a tunnel, whic
can be run on the vein, commencin,
at Camp creek on the extreme wester
end of the location and following tn
the ledge, at depth of $50 fee,
throughout the entire length of tn
claim. The property is owned b
John Fleming, Of the Gold Belt.
THE ABOVE CLAIMS
